CMER has been set up by New Zealand's most active group of minerals sector environmental scientists to:

• Provide current state-of-the-art research information to minerals sector stakeholders and the New Zealand public
• Identify and encourage collaborations between minerals sector stakeholders and research scientists
• Provide a bibliographic service for New Zealand minerals environmental research publications
• Link minerals sector stakeholders throughout New Zealand
• Provide a hub for international linkages in minerals sector environmental research

CMER has been unsuccessful in attracting support through the New Zealand Endeavour Fund for 2019-2020 but intends to seek renewed funding at the end of 2020. If you would like to discuss research topics or themes where CMER has expertise please contact Dr James Pope, Verum Group.
